w00t! I think I figured out the formula for that flash jackbox linked to.

THE KEY:
The sum of the digits in the difference always equal 9.

CAVEAT:
If a digit in the difference is a zero, and the first sum of the digits in the difference is > 9, then the zero becomes a 1.

My scratchpad:

8421 | I circled the digit 2
-4182 | and entered 439.  The
===== | flash correctly
4239 | guessed the digit 2.

3619 | I circled the digit 5
-1963 | and entered 166.  The
===== | flash correctly
1656 | guessed the digit 5.

I needed more numbers to work with,
so I created 2 more numbers, but
didn't bother with the flash anymore.

  4527
-2475
=====
  2052

  3629
-2963
=====
  0656

I know the only numbers the flash could
work with were the digits in the
difference from the subtraction equation,
and that there must be some constant
relation between the 4 digits.

Just as a place to start, I started adding
the 4 digits of each difference.

4239 = 18
1656 = 18
2052 = 9
0656 = 17

Not enough of a pattern.  I went back and
added everything recursively down to a
single digit.

4239 = 18 = 9
1656 = 18 = 9
2052 = 9  = 9
0656 = 17 = 8

Woah, bizarre.

  4321
-1234
=====
  2087 = 17 = 8

If the sum of the digits in the difference
is > 9, then any digits in the difference
become 1s. (And notice, your not allowed to
circle a zero.  So the formula is required
to know the presense of a zero.)

Time to test on larger numbers.

76543
-43756
======
32787 = 27 = 9

84653
-53468
======
31185 = 16 = 9

Same logic appears to be true for larger
numbers.

I had just woken up. Didn't feel like starting work yet, and hadn't done any math type stuff for a while (mostly DB lately). Took longer to write the post out than to figure out the formula.

alot of sites that are 100% flash look good, but it is pretty easy to make somthing look good in flash, granted those are good even for flash, i especially like the loader on the blitz page.

anyone can do any amount of work provided it isnt the work they are supposed to be doing.
